Wausau police report two people arrested on battery charges were held at bay by an Appleton man who pulled a gun during a road rage incident in Wausau.

Wausau police said the incident began just after 1 p.m. Tuesday, when officers and a deputy from the Marathon County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of a road rage hit and run crash on Highway 29 near Highway O. A caller reported the SUV he was driving was rammed from behind by a van he had passed on the highway, and a 9-11 dispatcher instructed the caller to pull off the road into the Menards parking lot.
